The Hebrews were just Cannaanites who were landless and on the fringes of society. They were un affiliated with any of the established Canaanite cities in Egypt and Palestine.

The north coast Canaanites gradually moved inland to the hill country (of Canaan) as the Sea People arrived.. You have heard of the Phoenicians, haven't you?

I witness a striking similarity to people ardently discussing something like details of a plotline in "Harry Potter and the ..."

Harry Potter is still a fantasy, no matter how carefully the tale(s) is constructed ... as is the myth-based sacred screed of Christianity.

The Philistines were five city-states of the southwestern Levant: Gaza, Ashkelon, Ashdod, Ekron, and Gath, from Wadi Gaza in the south to the Yarqon River in the north.

Incorrect, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob all knew him as Yahweh. Everywhere in the Old Testament that it says, the Lord = Jehovah = Yahweh

[h=1]Genesis 22:14 King James Version (KJV)[/h][FONT=&quot]14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.

And God spoke to Moses and said to him


I am Yahweh. And I showed to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as El-Shaddai, and by my name, 'Yahweh', I did not make myself known to them.

How can this be? Abraham hears/says Yahweh in Genesis 15:2,15:7,15:8,18:14,22:14, and his servants/relatives do in ch 24.

Isaac and Jacob use "Yahweh" less frequently, only in Gen 27:20 and 27:27.

Why does God say he didn't reveal his name "Yahweh", when he obviously glaringly did so in Genesis, many, many times?

I don't think so.. Most of Psalms are from the Ugaratic poetry.. north coast Canaanites from Ras Shamra.

What's written is what's written......personal opinion has nothing to do with the actual text which reads the same for everyone who wishes to read it. As demonstrated, the scriptures self interpret if allowed.

When studying any subject found in scripture, "THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD....." should and must be considered when searching for scriptural truth (Acts 20:7). All passages must be studied and presented in the context recorded (not cherry picked from the entire passage). You must present evidence (other than just personal opinion) where that particular subject matter is addressed elsewhere in scripture (Book, Chapter and Verse). It helps to have a Greek and Hebrew dictionary loaded into your desktop in order to properly translate any word and its original root meaning and use.

sorry you feel its over rated.....but it still beats yours.....

13 Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?”

14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am.[c] This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’”

15 God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord,[d] the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’

“This is my name forever,
the name you shall call me
from generation to generation.
